Golden Hour Photography Guide
What Is Golden Hour?
The hour after sunrise and before sunset when sunlight is warm, soft, and directional. Perfect for portraits and fashion photography.
What Is Blue Hour?
The period before sunrise and after sunset when the sky turns deep blue. Great for moody, editorial-style shots.
Why Does It Matter?
Natural light during these windows creates flattering skin tones, dramatic shadows, and rich colors that no studio light can fully replicate.
